Pilots are worth the same as stewardesses?

RandomMan writes "According to this recent decision here in Canada, highly trained and experienced commercial pilots and skilled aircraft mechanics should not be paid more than women who spend most of their time handing out peanuts, serving lousy food, scowling at passengers and forcing males from their pre-assigned seats next to unaccompanied children (story here). According to this same logic, an unskilled cleaner working at a computer company should be able to sue for discrimination because she makes less than an electrical engineer, programmer or even the CEO. How does working for the "same organization in the same business" make everyone's work equally valuable? Would male cabin crews expect to be paid as much as the pilots or mechanics? Should female orderlies be paid as much as male surgeons?"
